Crespo M; Hernández-Lloreda MJ; Hornillos C; Miguel-Alvaro A; Sánchez-Ferrer S; Antón AA · European journal of psychotraumatology · 2024 · Therapy-group randomized active comparison with nonrandomized waitlist
Original publication · Original publication · Original publication · Original publication · Original publication
Recorded summary
Both active treatments improved several outcomes; direct comparisons did not establish superiority of adding positive memories.
Recorded limitations
Waitlist assignment was by availability; only active therapy groups randomized. High dropout and per-protocol emphasis limit inference; clustering adjustment not established.
Evidence and provenance
Chapter Trust Factor uses a minimum of three distinct qualifying studies. Publication records retain their own evidence and assessment.

- method
- AI editorial assessment of all 130 publication records: compare identity, headline finding, design, relevance and limitations with indexed abstracts or available primary material; adjudicate retained source-supported methods amendments. This is a source-limited publication audit, not an independent full-text systematic review or a clinical guideline.
- limitations
Abstract-only records do not establish allocation concealment, complete harms reporting or full risk of bias. · No formal independent RoB 2, GRADE appraisal or numerical reconstruction of every effect was performed. · Source-access labels describe retained appraisal evidence; fuller prior appraisals were checked through their source ledgers and selected material, not independently repeated in full. · Publication counts are not independent trial or participant counts; cohort links and overlapping review evidence remain provisional. · A randomized design cross does not indicate benefit, low risk of bias or human approval. No double-blind trial is verified in this release. · No professional clinical peer review is claimed. Recommended content is limited to accurately qualified research summaries.

- primary Status
- Primary versus secondary status not fully established; see finding for explicitly identified secondary outcomes.
- finding
- Both active treatments improved several outcomes; direct comparisons did not establish superiority of adding positive memories.
- limitation
- Waitlist assignment was by availability; only active therapy groups randomized. High dropout and per-protocol emphasis limit inference; clustering adjustment not established.
- design
- type
- Therapy-group randomized active comparison with nonrandomized waitlist
- randomization Evidence
- Therapy modality randomized by software for 13 therapy groups (79 women); 12 waitlisted women were assigned by scheduling availability.

- Provisional appraisal; see limitations, attrition and masking. No formal risk-of-bias score assigned.
- attrition
- 43.04% of women entering treatment dropped out.
- confounding
- Random allocation addresses baseline confounding if implemented; allocation concealment and analysis details remain source-dependent.
- adverse Findings
- Adverse-event reporting not established from accessed source; absence of reporting is not evidence of no harm.

Bibliographic identity and abstract-level evidence extracted; full-text appraisal remains limited unless explicitly stated. · Study-family label is retained separately from publication identity; this does not prove independence from every unpublished or secondary report. · Same registered trial ISRCTN73702156; three publications count as one study family. Initial waitlist and later two-arm denominators differ; no new independent trial counted.

- applied Proposals
- None recorded
- method
- AI editorial assessment of all 130 publication records: compare identity, headline finding, design, relevance and limitations with indexed abstracts or available primary material; adjudicate retained source-supported methods amendments. This is a source-limited publication audit, not an independent full-text systematic review or a clinical guideline.
- limitations
Abstract-only records do not establish allocation concealment, complete harms reporting or full risk of bias. · No formal independent RoB 2, GRADE appraisal or numerical reconstruction of every effect was performed. · Source-access labels describe retained appraisal evidence; fuller prior appraisals were checked through their source ledgers and selected material, not independently repeated in full. · Publication counts are not independent trial or participant counts; cohort links and overlapping review evidence remain provisional. · A randomized design cross does not indicate benefit, low risk of bias or human approval. No double-blind trial is verified in this release. · No professional clinical peer review is claimed. Recommended content is limited to accurately qualified research summaries.
